Macro Compatibility

Usage

The chart should contain at least one series. A maximum of 701 additional series can be added. For Pie and Donut charts (and their variants, such as a 3D Pie chart), this macro only works when the 'type' parameter is set to 'Category', becausethose charts can ONLY contain one series - so it is not permitted to add more.

Parameter	Type	Presence	Purpose	Options	Default
name	String	Mandatory	The series (column) or category name (row).	N/A	N/A
values	List<String>	Mandatory	The series (column) or category (row) values, in the form: value1;value2;value3;...Note that any additional values (e.g. you specified a row with 5 data points but you only have 3 series) are ignored.	N/A	N/A
comment	String	Optional	Add a comment to make your document template more readable. The comment is discarded in the output document.	N/A	N/A
errorOnOverflow	Boolean	Optional	Should NCalc expression evaluation throw error on Overflow	true false	true
failureText	String	Optional	The text to display should the macro fail to execute. Note that a poorly-specified macro (e.g. omitting mandatory parameters) will still result in an error message.	N/A	N/A
fillColor	Color	Optional	Optionally, when adding a series (does not apply to a category), specify the fill colour. When omitted, the built-in theme colour will be used and determined automatically. This parameter has no effect when 'type' is set to 'Category'.	A named color or an HTML-encoded color .Note that 'transparent' is a valid color that you can use in any macro parameter that expects a color.	N/A
id	String	Optional	The chart ID, which you can set in it's Alt Text (right-click a chart, then select 'Edit Alt Text'). If you set id=foobar in your macro, the alt text needs to be exactly "foobar" (no quotes). When not set: in Word the previous chart will be used, and in PowerPoint it will find the first 'previous' chart encountered.	N/A	N/A
if	String	Optional	The condition that must be true in order for the macro to be executed/evaluated. Must either evaluate to true or false, for example: "3+5=8" or "contains('abcd', 'z').	N/A	true
mode	MacroMode	Optional	The mode in which variables are stored. In the legacy mode (default for Schedules), the variable created is a string and formatted. In the normal mode (default for Report Studio), the output variable is stored as a strongly-typed object, e.g. an Int32 or a List etc., rather than a formatted string.	Legacy Normal	Legacy
obfuscation	ObfuscationType	Optional	Obfuscation type. Use obfuscation to write reports where sensitive data is hidden. When used, ReportMagic guarantees that the same input string will map to the same output string for the whole of the report (but the next time the report runs, it will most likely map to a different value). If you use obfuscation, the property in your macro will not show up and instead, you will see a fake item of the obfuscation type chosen.	None UkTown DeviceName Company IpAddress PrivateIpAddress	None
type	GraphDataType	Optional	Whether the data in the 'values' parameter represents a row of category data for each series, or a column of series data for each category.	Series Category	Series
warning	String	Optional	If specified, adds a warning message for this macro. This is processed as an NCalc, and the warning message will ALWAYS be present and will be the value of the evaluated NCalc expression.	N/A	N/A

Examples (2)

Example 1:

This example adds a new series, sets the colour to blue, and specifies the values (a column):

[Graph.AddData: name=My Series, fillColor=Blue, type=Series, values=5;10;15;20]

---

Example 2:

This example adds a new set of data points, and specifies the values (a row):

[Graph.AddData: name=My Category, type=Category, values=5;10;15;20]
